Under Tennessee law (T.C.A. § 39-13-111), domestic assault occurs when an individual allegedly commits an assaultagainst a:
✔ Current or former spouse
✔ Romantic or dating partner
✔ Co-parent of a child
✔ Roommate or household member
✔ Family member (parent, sibling, grandparent, etc.)

Domestic assault charges are treated more harshly than other assault cases and often result in mandatory arrests, even if the alleged victim does not want to press charges.


Penalties for Domestic Assault in Tennessee

  • Jail time: Up to 11 months and 29 days

✔ Felony Domestic Assault (Aggravated Assault)

  • Prison sentence: Up to 15 years
  • Fines: Up to $10,000

How Sluder Law, PLLC Fights Domestic Assault Charges

At Sluder Law, PLLC, we take a proactive and aggressive approach to defending clients accused of domestic assault. Our defense strategies include:


1. Challenging False Allegations

In many cases, domestic assault accusations stem from misunderstandings, heated arguments, or false claims made out of anger, revenge, or child custody disputes. We investigate:
✔ The alleged victim’s credibility
✔ Inconsistencies in their statements
✔ Any motive for making false claims


2. Examining Police Procedures

Law enforcement must follow strict procedures when making a domestic assault arrest. If police violated your constitutional rights, we may be able to suppress evidence and get charges dropped.


3. Presenting Self-Defense Claims

If you were protecting yourself from harm, we will gather evidence, witness statements, and medical reports to prove that you acted in self-defense.


4. Negotiating Reduced Charges or Dismissals

For first-time offenders, we may pursue alternative sentencing options such as anger management, probation, or pretrial diversion to avoid jail time.


What to Do If You Are Arrested for Domestic Assault

If you are accused of domestic assault, take the following steps to protect yourself and your case:
✔ Remain silent – Do not discuss the incident with police or the accuser.
✔ Avoid contacting the alleged victim – Any contact could lead to further legal trouble.
